Books of the Month: Feb 2024
At this point I'm doing books of the months posts late more by design than by accident (I mean, several were by accident, but now...). It's interesting to look back with a little more distance and see what reads stuck with me from the previous month. This time it was:
My Brother Sam is Dead (James Lincoln Collier): I picked this up literally years ago for free, thinking I've heard of this so I should probably read it. Despite the title being right there, so you know what's coming, it was still a little more violent than I expected, and sort of more sad (although obviously I knew it would be sad! But he still got me). I am including it on the list because of a post I read recently about some people failing to grasp that there's nuance in history. A good book about a boy - young man - and his shrinking family, and how they're mostly just trying to live through the events happening around them.
Thus Was Adonis Murdered (Sarah Caudwell): Now for something completely different! Well, someone still dies in this one, but otherwise. I had heard of these (this is first in a short mystery series) before, but I didn't realize how much of an ensemble cast they have, or how hilarious they are! Set contemporaneously with when they're written, so early 1980s. Oxford Professor Hilary Tamar (gender unclear) seems to never spend time in Oxford, but instead hangs out with a gaggle of young lawyers (solicitors? I admit the British law stuff loses me a little, but it's kind of meant to) in London and in various cities around the world where they keep falling into situations where someone was murdered, and write each other very funny letters about it. I can't describe these sufficiently but I recommend them wholeheartedly.
And then I'm going to do something I never have yet, and list a couple honorable mentions. These were special to me for specific reasons, but might be exactly what someone is looking for so I'll list them too!
Call the Nurse (Mary J. MacLeod): This is one of those books written by someone who had experiences and wanted to write about them, rather than someone who wanted to write and so chose some experiences to write about. True stories from a woman (a nurse) who moved with her family to the Scottish Hebrides in the...1960s?? (Someone is currently borrowing my copy! I can't check, I think that's the right time period.) It was given to me by a very good friend; she'd read it a while ago but had trouble finding a copy to gift. So she was very triumphant when she found one, and I was touched. I enjoyed it as a book to read in the evenings, one chapter at a time.
The Waterman (Tim Junkin): This is fictional but kind of fits with the above as a book that's about a specific place and time as much as about a plot (though it does have a plot! gets exciting at the end). It was written in the 90s, takes place in the 70s, but though things have changed a lot, there's a lot of things that are still true about the communities around the Chesapeake Bay today, and I really liked it.

My Brother Sam is Dead by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier
Tim adores his older brother, Sam. When his brother runs off to join the American troops, Tim is torn between his brother's pro-freedom and his father's pro-British views.
This was a good middle grade book. I know I read it with my seventh grade English class, but I didn't remember much. I enjoyed listening to it, and got to experience it anew.
Recommended for: people who enjoy history, people interested by the American Revolution, and tweenage readers.
Content warnings: death, armed robbery

Tumblr media
The actor Brigit Forsyth, who has died aged 83, made her name as Thelma in the BBC television series Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads? One critic described Thelma as so prim that she could turn the lifting of a lace curtain into an art form.
Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais’s creation, which ran from 1973 to 1974, was the sequel to the popular 1960s sitcom The Likely Lads, which starred Rodney Bewes and James Bolam as Bob Ferris and Terry Collier, two single north-east England factory workers who share a flat and the same interests – women, drink and football.
Thelma Chambers was brought in as a girlfriend for the upwardly mobile Bob, now in the white-collar class with a house, car and annual holiday on the Costa Brava, scoffed at by Terry, who clings on to his working-class roots. Thelma and Bob were married halfway through the two series of the show.
“Up until then, I had done a lot of drama on telly,” said Forsyth. “If I wasn’t being murdered, I was murdering somebody or I was a disturbed art teacher. I was playing quite a lot of deranged people, so comedy was a nice change.”
She created laughs again with the sitcom Sharon and Elsie (1984-85), in which she co-starred as the middle-class Elsie Beecroft alongside Janette Beverley as the more down-to-earth Sharon Wilkes, two employees in a greetings card manufacturing company.
But Forsyth’s own favourite television part was Francine Pratt in Playing the Field (1998-2002), the on- and off-pitch women’s football drama created by Kay Mellor. Her character, who hates the game, is married to the Castlefield Blues’ sponsor, played by Ricky Tomlinson, and keeps him happy in return for designer clothes and other luxuries.
“I have never played awful glamour before,” she said. “I had a blond wig, six-inch heels, makeup and my bosom hitched up high.”
Forsyth was born in Malton, North Yorkshire, to Scottish parents, Anne (nee Forsyth), an artist, and Frank Connell, an architect and town planner, and brought up in Edinburgh. She was mesmerised by Stanley Baxter’s performances as a pantomime dame at the city’s King’s theatre and, aged 18, landed her own first lead role, as Sarat Carn, on her way to the gallows, in Charlotte Hastings’s play Bonaventure with the Makars amateur drama group.
But when she left St George’s school, Edinburgh, her parents insisted she learn a skill, so she trained as a secretary. After a couple of jobs, she headed for London and Rada (1958-60), where she won the Emile Littler prize.
She began her professional career back in Edinburgh with the Gateway theatre company (1960-61) before moving on to the Theatre Royal, Lincoln (1961-62) and the Arthur Brough Players in Folkestone (1962). With other actors already named Brigit McConnell and Bridget O’Connell, she changed her professional name to Forsyth on her return to Lincoln in 1962.
At the Edinburgh festival three years later, she played one of the witches in a headline-making production of Macbeth. “That show caused an absolute uproar because they wanted the witches to have the bodies of young girls and the faces of old women, and they wanted us to have our top half naked,” Forsyth recalled. “But the Earl of Harewood, who was running the EIF at the time, said ‘No’. So they put nipple caps on us, which looked absolutely disgusting – and they used to drop off each night. It was absolutely hysterical.”
Later, in the West End, Forsyth played Annie in The Norman Conquests (Globe, now Gielgud, and Apollo theatres, 1974-76) and Dusa in the feminist play Dusa, Fish, Stas and Vi (Mayfair theatre, 1976-77). She put her TV breakthrough down to cutting her hair short. “It proved a tremendously lucky omen,” she said.
That break came with Adam Smith (1972), in which she played the younger daughter of the title character, a Scottish minister (Andrew Keir). The director, Brian Mills, then worked with Forsyth on the psychological thriller Holly (1972), when she took the part of a young art teacher kidnapped by a mentally unstable student. Forsyth and Mills married in 1976.
Television roles kept on coming. She was Veronica, one of the product-promotion team, in The Glamour Girls (1980-82), Harriet in the inter-generational sitcom Tom, Dick and Harriet (1982-83), and Helen Yeldham, a hotelier, in the 1989 series of Boon.
There were also appearances in soap opera: as GP Judith Vincent in The Practice (1985-86); Babs Fanshawe, Ken Barlow’s escort agency date who dies of a heart attack, in a 1998 Coronation Street episode; Delphine LaClair, a sales rep for a French company interested in buying Rodney Blackstock’s vineyards, for two short runs in Emmerdale (2005 and 2006); Cressida, mother of the millionaire Nate Tenbury-Newent, in Hollyoaks in 2013; and three roles in Doctors between 2000 and 2012.
Forsyth also played the miserable Madge, who frustrates her sister Mavis’s attempts at a relationship with Granville, in the sitcom sequel Still Open All Hours (2013-19).
A cellist from the age of nine, Forsyth starred as the real-life virtuoso Beatrice Harrison in a 2004 tour of The Cello and the Nightingale. Also on tour, she was a remarkably believable Queen Elizabeth II in A Question of Attribution (2000) and played Marie in Calendar Girls (2008). “I’m Mrs Frosty-Knickers, the one who doesn’t approve of it all.”
In 2017, she played a terminally ill musician in the stage comedy Killing Time, written by her daughter, Zoe Mills, who acted alongside her. At the time, Forsyth revealed that her maternal grandfather, a GP in Yorkshire, had helped dying patients to end their lives. Declaring herself a supporter of euthanasia, she said: “He bumped off probably loads of people with doses of morphine.”
In 1999, Forsyth separated from her husband, but they remained friends until his death in 2006. She is survived by their children, Ben and Zoe.
🔔 Brigit Forsyth (Brigit Dorothea Connell), actor, born 28 July 1940; died 1 December 2023

What are the other actors or celebs that you find attractive?
Um...................
Like, as in I find them easy on the eyes? Cuz there aren't any others I would bone.
I don't know man, when it really comes down to it I don't think there are any others I would actually say I'm attracted to. That implies there's a chemical reaction going on in my body when I look at them and nah, there ain't none of that.
Especially currently. To me there is a difference between saying "he's attractive/I'm attracted to him" vs "he's a nice looking guy". For me, aside from Aidan, its all the latter. In which case, there are a bunch that I can probably say are nice looking men. But I wouldn't bone.
Michael Fassbender is nice looking. He comes to mind. Tom Ellis is okay but definitely would never bone because I'm not into his body. Too buff. Andrew Lincoln is a nice looking guy.
Okay and I have to add Rob James Collier so my sister @papa-evershed doesn't murder me in my sleep. He is a very good looking guy.
Okay, probably not a bunch.
When I say I only have eyes for Aidan, it's not an exaggeration. I truly mean it.

Milton Diamond, sexologist and advocate for intersex babies, dies at 90
Tumblr media
Academic conferences are usually solid, but the 1973 International Symposium on Gender Identity in Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, was an exception. All was peaceful until a psychologist named John Money stood up and yelled, "Mickey Diamond, I hate your guts!"Sexologist Milton Diamond, who had been with Mickey since he was a child, sat across the room. Dr. Money and Dr. Diamond were fierce rivals. Dr. Money, a nationally known researcher at Johns Hopkins University, has lengthy maintained that sexual and gender identities are neutral at birth and are shaped primarily by the infant's environment.Dr. Diamond, who was just beginning his career at the University of Hawaii, strongly disagreed and said so repeatedly, including in a widely read 1965 critique of Dr. Money's work. He took particular issue with Dr. Money's recommendation that intersex infants should undergo surgery to "correct" their genitals.Dr. Money runs up to Dr. Diamond and gets in his face, angrily claiming that he is accurate.Dr. Diamond simply replied, "The data doesn't exist."At one point, a witness reported that Dr. Money punched Dr. Diamond, but Dr. Diamond later said he did not remember it.The case was reported by journalist John Colapinto in Rolling Stone and his subsequent book As Nature Made: The Boy Raised as a Girl (2000), and was particularly heated by recent announcements by Dr. Money. . .He worked with a child whose penis was irreparably damaged during circumcision in 1965, and underwent further surgery to remove the male genitalia. The child was then raised as a girl, with all the physical and emotional characteristics of a traditional female adolescent -- fortunately, Dr. Money said.Although the child was not born intersex, Dr. Money argues that this case proves that gender and sexual identity are malleable, and that intersex children should indeed undergo surgery. did.Dr. Money and his colleague Anke A. Ehrhardt, a current researcher in the field, published their findings in their 1972 book, Men and Women, Boys and Girls. Writing in the fresh York Times, journalist James Lincoln Collier called the book "the most important book in the social sciences published since the Kinsey Report."However, Dr. Diamond remained unconvinced and said so, which infuriated Dr. Money in Dubrovnik. He said the case study was not conclusive, adding that the child, who was about 7 years antique at the time the book was published, had not yet reached puberty.It was in the early 1990s that Dr. Diamond tracked down the children and the psychiatrist who treated them, H. Keith Sigmundson.What he discovered contradicted all of Dr. Money's claims.The child, born Bruce Reimer and then raised as Brenda, rebelled against his forced upbringing, tore her dress and threatened suicide. At the age of 14, the child's parents agreed to stop hormone treatment and live as a boy, now living under the name David.Worse, Dr. Diamond said there was evidence that Dr. Money, who met with David and his twin brother every year, was abusive to the children, including forcing them to imitate sex acts and yelling at them when they refused. Dr. Money, who died in 2006, denied the accusations.The findings of Dr. Diamond and Dr. Sigmundsson, published in 1997, reshaped not only Dr. Money's case study but also how the medical community approaches intersex infants in general.Under the influence of Dr. Money, it has lengthy been standard practice for doctors to choose the sex of babies with ambiguous genitalia. Dr. Diamond argued the opposite. Identity cannot be forced, intersex people have the accurate to lie within the spectrum of human sexuality, and the decision to make changes to their bodies should be left to the individual.Dr. Diamond continued to communicate with David, and David eventually married and adopted his wife's children. He died by suicide in 2004.Beau Laurent, founder and former executive director of the Intersex Association of North America, said that while many doctors today follow Dr. Diamond's recommendations, other doctors and many parents still choose infant surgery. It is said that there is.Dr Diamond told the BBC in 1980: "Maybe we should really think about it." We come into this world with a degree of masculinity and femininity that transcends what society desires. ”Dr. Diamond died on March 20th at his home in Honolulu. He passed away at the age of 90. His wife, Constance Brinton-Diamond, confirmed his death.Milton Diamond was born in the Bronx on March 6, 1934, to Aaron and Jenny (Arbor) Diamond, Jewish immigrants from the Ukraine. They owned a grocery store in the borough, and the family moved frequently. He spent part of his childhood in a neighborhood in Ireland, where some children who had never met Milton before gave him the more familiar name Mickey. . He froze.In 1955, Milton became the first student to earn a degree in biophysics from the City University of fresh York. After serving three years in the U.S. Army, he attended the University of Kansas and earned a doctorate in anatomy and psychology in 1962, writing a dissertation on the effects of testosterone in the womb.In addition to his wife, he is survived by four children from his first marriage, Hinda, Eileen, Sarah and Leah Diamond. three stepchildren, Maia James Tidwell, Christina Brinton and Andrew Brinton; and 14 grandchildren.Dr. Diamond taught at the University of Louisville for several years, then moved to the University of Hawaii in 1967 to join the founding faculty of the fresh medical school. He was made an honorary member in 2009.After publishing a 1997 paper on Dr. Money's research, Dr. Diamond spent several years developing guidelines for the care of intersex people. He also opposed the idea that being intersex was a disability and advocated for it to be accepted as a normal part of human sexuality.Nature loves diversity, he was fond of saying.

Manmeet Sandhu in NYC, Day 9
Took an Uptown Q subway ... book in the subway-'Jump Ship to Freedom' by Christopher Collier and James Lincoln Collier . Since I am commuting primarily by subway , there are times when I see people reading books and its gives a a kick to see what they are reading... hence the book title here.
First stop for the day- Church of Scientology - reached a little early than the given time... the guide started with a short video introduction about the founder of the Church, L Ron Hubbard.
Things I gathered from the video- The story of Scientology begins and ends with the fact that Hubbard travelled to India, China  and Japan, and built up his philosophy on what he learned there...(rest people from Asia will understand). ..he also studied  native Americans and their  healing practices, connects  spirituality with quantum physics... uses terms such as   psychology, perfection, rationalization, importance  of an individual and so many on.
the 'philosophy' of Scientology claims to have originated in 1950s  and calls itself the only modern religion of 20th Century...
The people from the church shared some ephemera regarding the philosophy and principles ... there were also short audio video presentations about the Church's belief systems on different topics such as , emotions, community, investigation, health and healing and contribution to human rights movement...
@2.15 pm -Met Steven at Apex art and shared updates about how the stay and the events over a cup of a coffee...
@3.30 an hour long session with Nancy...I realised I can just ramble on, an about so many things and nothing at the time something that I don't get the space to at home a lot...Maybe because there is nobody to talk here to...lots of words spinning in the head just floated out of the mouth...
6.30 @ Queens tech night, Cultural lab, Queens. The venue and the location were amazing, though I had no idea, what to expect. The venue also had some artworks displayed ...there was free pizza, free beer and lots of people at the meet up. I think I like the term 'meet up' , it sounds very cool and casual, yet is potentially more powerful than the idea of tea and snacks or high tea, the terms used commonly in India...
...a brief introduction about the cultural lab by the organiser , to my surprise it is a regular event with local sponsors including a community library... There was a presentation and talk by a famous New York Graphic Designer Paula Scher.
Honestly I didn't  know who she was , but when she shared and spoke about her work, it turned to be very popular and known, now i see one of her posters in one of the subways...
She spoke about her inspirations - influences of NYC cartography/city plan, NYC graffiti  in her typography and graphic design, text n fonts being used on different daily objects match box, cups, glasses. Loved her art experiments with cartography.
 these pop ups , meet ups, sustainabile initiatives and tech meets around the city are kinda very inspiring ...wish we had more of the Delhi...
Return ride in  subway -  somebody is reading Paulo Coelho's Alchemist...book from my college time...

June 27 ZODIAC
They are incredibly delicate, have an abnormally evolved feeling of equity, and strongly experience everything around them. They need an amicable climate to accomplish joy. Polite and serene individuals, they need to stay away from all errors and questions. They experience things a ton intellectually, have incredible instinct, and show an inclination for otherworldly turn of events, as well as a yearning to help humankind. Lovely, amicable, they appreciate home life, yet are great at difficult work. They have a profoundly evolved creative mind and their personality is eccentric. They are close to home individuals, albeit reckless. They will generally believe a great deal, which frequently neutralizes them. They have close to zero familiarity with the characters of others and their attitude is trusting, cherishing, prepared to do profound sentiments. Be that as it may, they are very unsteady in character, they appreciate extravagance and solace. Moreover, they are significantly affected by the other gender, which at times doesn't function admirably. In affection, they will frequently track down stresses, and they can begin their exotic life very early. They experience explosions of desire and negative emergencies. His body isn't extremely safe. Being conceived today carries with it the chance of gastric sicknesses that increment with age. They generally make progress in the second piece of their life.

My Brother Sam is Dead by James Lincoln and Christopher Collier Collier
1975 Newbery Honor Book
Adapted by Vihaan B of Colony Meadows Elementary (2022)
From Sugar Land, TX
Judges' Remarks: I liked the idea of telling the story using Minecraft, but this movie didn't take advantage of the advantages Minecraft offers. It just seemed to be one guy wandering around a house with chaotic, dizzying camera work, so the audience can't tell what was going on at all. Furthermore, the quality of the audio was garbled and the person was speaking so fast that I couldn't understand what was being said. If one is using Minecraft to make a movie, it should be used in cinematic way, with thoughtfully composed shots that are edited together like a movie. This just felt like we were watching an unedited playthrough, and nothing made sense.

Currently Listening: My Brother Sam is Dead by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier
I know I read this in seventh grade for English class. I genuinely remember nothing though, so this is like reading a new book for me. With all the driving I've done today, despite starting this book this morning, I'm already at 52%.
